Whaddayamean close? That was Noushbaggery at its finest/worst

If that didn't take the cake for the biggest D.Bag M.O.M award, than I'm changing my name to Captain Nicebag

You, Max and Paul are my brothers (and great great great great grandfather

Well put ZH and PH..I think it's pretty clear, the esoteric group of the originals quite fairly and respectfully, long for that "small town" intimacy that was lost long ago. They miss the quality and not the quantity. And who can blame them? MOM has grown to bountiful levels of posting but that's just the expected result of a successful squad, built on the solid foundations of it's wise and humorous founders.
So whaddayado? I personally like to read the posts during small breaks in the can or at a traffic light and although catch up on most of it, there are times where I'll miss a page or two during the blow-outs. I make a special exception to this when WIG posts...in which case, I'll grab a fine cigar and some scotch and sit back on my recliner with a smirk that would make Chuck Norris run for cover.
I have no real solution nor am in a position to have one. I embrace the change and quite readily accept and enjoy the newcomers and their ludicracy. As my gramps would say "Nice to have some new crazy around here." At the same token, no one can deny there is a physical limit to the number of posts before it becomes too great to keep up with. I'm not sure if we're there yet but it certainly sounds like we are in the views of some (which I respect)
WIG's approach of grouped MOM's does indeed sound interesting. It also sounds like a lot of work for WIG. I say we all 100+ MOM's get together at Wig's place and help him out..I'll grab the booze and milk
